Oct. I, 1818. TO THE EMPRESS MARTA LOUISA. &t! NI 1 IiAM E,—lf your Majesty will deign to recollect the con verca; ion I had with you in 1814, at Grosbois, when seeing y n there, unhappily for the last time, I related to you all that the Emderor hid experienced at Fontainehlean, I ven ture to hope that yon will pardon me the melancholy duly which I at this moment fulfil, in making known to you tl at the Empei or Napoleon is dying in the most dreadful torments, and in the most piolungsd agony.—Yes, 'Madame, he to whom, by both divine and human laws, you are united by the most sacred ties—he about you have seen receive the homage of almost all the Sovereigns of Europe—he, over the fate of whom I, have seen you shed so many tears when he quitted you, perishes by the most cruel death, a captiVe on a rock'in the midst of the ocean, 2000 leagues from the objects of his dearest affections, alone, without friends, without relations, without intelligence of his wife or of his -son, without any console ion. On arid since my departure from this fatal roch, I had t be enabled to sec you, in order to give you the recital a Ins sufferings, being very certain of every thing that your zenerons soul is cipabic of; my hopes have been deceived. I ',arta that no one can recal to you the Emperor—c•an paint to you his situation—can tell you the truth—can ap proach you—in a word, that you are iu the midst of your (*mut a• it iu a prison. The Eutpertir was aware of this in Lis moments of a) ; tvhen, to give him some consola tion, we spolie to him of you, often has he replied to its, " toll,coutiuccd, that it the Empress makes no great effort t, alieriale suffei lugs, it is because she is surruuudc►i by spies, .who ',yet cut her from knowing any thing Ut . what 1 suffer, for Maria L;inisa is virtue itself." Ihprived, then, of the happiness of an interview with you, 1 bavc, since my arrival here, been Fecking the means of Com oto !lit. !liug to you this jai:lll'4oWe; it is only now that a 'rive opportnnity has offered, and I hasten to profit by it to wi-itt , to yoo this letter, fall of hope and of confidence in the generosity of your character, and the goodness of your heart. The tortures of the Emperor may still last for a long period; it is time to save him ; the present moment proves very fa vourable; the Sovereigns are assembling in Congress at Aix la-Chapelle ; the passions appear trangnillizi!cl; Napoleon is trout tieing an object of arrl OICOSIOO, lie is SO I.lllfOrlU n.itb, that great minds can, with respect to him, only interest themselves in his fate. Under such circumsti.nces, will v our ,wnicsccud to ►etirct upon the Ofect which MA/ be produced by on nnpurtant step spun your part, huch, fur ex going to the Congress to Solicit a terminatioo of the tortneuH of the Emperor—to supplicate your august father to unite hi, efforts edit ti yours, in order that the custody of Na- polleun in 4, hi• confided 1 ,, him, it policy dues not yet permit him to be restored to litirrly. Were even such a proceetlitt»- not entirely to sneceed, the lot of the Emperor might he still comitletably amerwrated. What consolation \you'd he not periente in ,erinq you act thus, and yon, Nladatne, what «unld be your happiness ? How loony praises, how many beliedicilons would you ac quire by conduct such as this, which is prescribed to you by religion, by yoor honour, and your duty; conduct that your greatest enemies can alone counsel you not to adopt ; it would be said, the Sovereigns of Europe, after' having conquered the Great Napoleon, abandoned him to Ins most cruel enemies, those who ttcold malie him die of the most prolonged and most barbarous torments; the duration of his agony &iced him to request more speedy executioners; he appeared to Ile forgotten, and without help, hut. Maria Louisa was true to eon, and his life has been presert•ed. Alt Madame ! in the name of what you hold dearest in the world, of your rep lltdi 1011, of your duty, of your future hap piness, do every thing to save the Emperor; the shade of Maria "Therese commands you to do it.

" Kett', 7'rtmsday ..17ght. " Her \1 FST disnrder has again assnmed inore composed character. The early part of last uil4lit she passed very intlifforently ; and it was not till towards two o'clock that she obtained any From that time, the Royal Sufferer became nacre free front pain ; and slept, at intervals, till Nfter nine o'clock this morning. " Throughout the day, and np to seven lock this evening, her Majesty continued with env very material amelioration of the symp -,ns of her disorder. The rcrhov.al into her i , ,eo/vie has been discontinued since Saturday. " h is much to be feared, as we have before 1t t, remaiketl, that her Majeity's approach to a state of convalescence is r,tarcled by the locality of New ; if, indeed, it has not materially increased the virulence of her disorder. Front the preva lence of the nor li-easterly winds, during the last month, the Palace and grounds are not only en veloped in the humid exhalations Of the river, but also in the entire smoke of all the chimilies in Br en rf,, r d ; aided by the noxious of of an exten , ive soap manufactory, which is tiituated di rectly on the opposite bank of the river. • " During this day, dispatches were, as yester day, sent off' almost hourly to Carlton House, and also to the Duke of York. " The Prince Regent visited the Palace, at the usual hour in the evening, but his Rnyal High ness did not see her Majesty. She was still too much iedisposed to receive any body hot her me dical and female attendants ; and, after hearing the evening report of the Physicians, and con versing about half an hour with the Princesses, hip Royal Highness returned to Carlton House. " The Princesses visited their improvements in the gromuls several times in the course of the day, attended by General Taylor. " Their Royal 1-14rhnesses also received visits from the Dlichess of Wellington, the Counters of Cardigan, Visroowess r es Mkt.ley nod Cremorne, Mrs. Fremantle, Miss Best, and General Trant." [The Times.] THE CONGRESS. It was on this day week that we announced to the British nation the agreement of the Ministers at Aix-la-Chapelle to remove the Army of Occu pation from the French territory. This first stage of the most important - birsiness of the Congress was performed on the 2d inst.; and Count Cara man was immediately dispatched to inform his Sovereign of the agreeable event. We now have it in our power to state our belief that the busi ness is formally and officially concluded ; for we learned from our Correspondent at Calais, at late hour I t night , " That a telegrAphic dispatch " front Paris had been received on Monday last, " by the authorities of the place, announcing " that t h e Munnetra of that day contained the '' otlieM news of the evacuation of France having " been signed at Aix-la-Chapelle on the 9th " instant." " Saturday, Oct. 10. " The negotiations of Congress regarding the evacuation of France have proceeded with great rapidity, and are now confidently stated to be brought to a close. There have been several conferences since I wrote you on Thursday. There was yvsteiday one in the morni►►g, and another in ihe evening, between eight and nine, at Prince Metternich's. The Duke of Richelieu was at the last Meeting. At this conference, the Treaty of the Evacuation was signed, and has been to-day ratified by all the Sovereigns who are here. I hope very shortly to he able to send you a copy of it, or at least its principal articles. It will be remembered, that the French Government ob. rained from► the Chambers an eventual credit of 24 millions of rentes, to be employed for the payment of the contributions, provided the evacuation took place befoie the legislative body was again assem bled ; and that Mr. Baring contracted with the Minis►ry for the whole snip, or whatever part of it it might be requisite to raise, at the rate of 67 per cent. It is now ascertained that wily 19 mil. ; lions and a half of rentes will be required to raise the sum to he paid by Fral , CC to the Allies, the principal being 265 millions, which is to be dis charged, as I formerly mentioned, by instalments, in the course of nine months. Mr. Baring con• Hums his conditional contract for 12 millions and a half, at the rate of 67 per cent. As the condi tions, however, by the rise of the French funds, have been found more advantageous to the con tractors than could at first have been anticipated; Mr. Baring agrees to pay for the remaining se ven millions of rentes only one and a half per cent, less than the price of the 5 per cents, at Pa ris on the stl► inst., or at the rate of 74 per cent. This will be a gain to France of 7 per cent, on 7 millions'or ►c a res, as compared with the original contract. " The other details I must delay till a future opportnnity.. Reports are very current here about the Inflnediaie ‘vithdriwing of the troops; but neither the paitienlar days of their leaving their cantonments, nor their routes in returning home, are vet fixed. It is curtain tlyit the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia have resolved to depart from Aix-la-Chapelle for the purpose of proceeding to the head-quarters of their respec tive contingents of the army in France, sonic days before the 20th inst. :If the reviews take place on the lSth or 19th, the troops may all have left the French territory by the end of the month..-- The Emperor of Russia spoke, on his arrival here, of visiting Paris before the review ; but he has now, it is said given up that intention. His Im perial Majesty has been for some days indisposed, and confined in consequence to his lintel. His complaint, from which he is now nearly recover -ed, was slight. lie intended on Thursday to have gone to Spa, on a visit to his sister, and relays of horses were engaged for hint on the road. These and other arrangements for his journey continued till last night, when they wrre countermanded. ---it is not likely, therefore, that he will leave Aix-la-Chapelle till bra sets out to review his troops." E\tract of a letter from Aix-la-Chapelle.— " Ne‘er did I behold a spectacle so grand and impressive as this venerable city, once the abode of Charlemagne, now exhibits. Amusements of ail kinds abound ; I have attended several balls, where I mingled amongst some of the finest wo men. An Hanoverian Lady attracted great no tice by the display of her beautiful hair, which I ascertained was entirely owing to making use of llowLAND's MAccAssAit OIL. At the Theatre I met with your friend Mts. L. who with her hus band has been a visitor at the Spa. Judge of my astonishment when I perceived the hue of her hair very different from what it formerly was ; it was red, and now I observed it to be black ; I asked her the cause, and she told me it was changed with RowLaNn's Essasca of TYRE. There are facts.—We are all on tiptoe expecta tion, awaiting the Emperor of Russia." THEATRICAL REGISTER. • PerThrnaed Last Night.

The Convention fur the Evacuation of France by the Allied Troops was, we are assured, signed on the 9th i instant, and was brought to this Country last night by KAYE, the Messenger. HER MAJESTY.—The following Bulletin was issued this morning : " KEW PALACR, OCT. 14. " The QUEEN passed the whole of yesterday in comparative ease and comfort, and slept well last night. Signed, " HENRY HALFORD." We received this morning the Paris Papers of Sunday last. They contain accounts from Aix la-Chapelle of the 7th inst. but there is still no thing in them respecting the final determination of the Sovereigns with regard to the removal from France of the Army of Occupation.—The following are extracts : " PARIS, OCT. 11 .-The King promenaded yesterday to Choisy. " A solemn service has been ordered by the King for the IGth instant, in memory of the late Queen Marie Antoinette. "An intrigue has been attempted in the De partment of Landes, to prevent the Countly Elec tors from attending the Electoral College on the 20th, by making them believe that there was great difficulty in obtaining lodgings at Mont de Marsan. The Prefect, the Baron de Haussez, has, however, inserted a letter in the journal of the Department, to do uway the effect of this manoeuvre, " The City of Lyons has this year exported silks to the amount of 60,000,000 francs. " The conferences at Aix-la-Chapelle subse qUent to that of the 2d inst. have been held , be tween the Ministers only ; none of the Sovereigns were present. The departing review is still an nounced for the 17th. FIVE PER CENTS. Saturday DEFERRED STOCK.

Besides the general conferences, they have also daily assem blies, either at the hotel of the Prince de Harden berg or that of the Prince de Metternich. " 1t is supposed, that in the conference of yes terday they were occupied with the interests of France. " The day before yesterday there was a grand dinner at the hotel of the Duke de Richelieu. In the evening there was a conference at the hotel of the Prince de Metternich. " The Emperor of Russia proceeds to-day to Spa, to visit his sister the Princess of Orange ; his Imperial Majesty returns here on Friday. " Some persons assert that the Emperor of Austria will not go with the other Sovereigns to review the Army of Occuplt ion. " It is said that the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia will not depart from hence till the 19th, it being their intention to celebrate, by a fZie, on the 18111, the anniversary of the Battle of Leipsic.—The troops, it appears, will not return to their cantonments,. but will retire immediately by Mayence, Coblentz, &c. without passing through Aix-la-Chapelle. " The Emperor of Russia will, it is said, pro ceed to Paris, but, it is presumed, not before the close of the conferences.
